Very nice guide in San Francisco organizing tours to discover the flavors of the Italian neighborhood of North Beach.
Tom Medin began by writing a cookbook on the gastronomy of the different American states. As a true local, he organizes half-day tours to discover the flavors of North Beach's Italian neighborhood: cappuccino, chocolate, pastries, focaccia and many other local specialties. But also tours of Chinatown, day and night, from the Eastern Bakery to the Fortune Cookie factory... Authentic and fun.

In terms of the food part of the tour, seriously come hungry. Everything was a joy to eat and YOU WILL WANT TO EAT IT ALL!! I personally bookmarked the places we went to on the tour so we could go back again.
This is a must do!!!
Make sure to come with an empty stomach, you will leave stuffed.
